Course description and aims

Lectures are a sequel to ''Advanced topics of Analysis E1'' in the previous quarter. A Riemann surface is a two-real-dimensional manifold with holomorphic coordinate transformations. The moduli space of Riemann surfaces is a geometric space whose points represent classes of conformally equivalent Riemann surfaces. The Teichmüller space is a universal covering of the moduli space.
Each point in it is an isomorphism class of 'marked' Riemann surfaces. Ahlfors was the first to derive the complex structure of Teichmüller space. We will study his method. Topics include Teichmüller spaces, quasiconformal maps, Teichmüller’s theorem,
and the complex structure of Teichmüller space.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students are expected to:
-- be familiar with quasiconformal maps
-- understand Teichmüller’s theorem
-- understand Ahlfors' approach for the complex structure of Teichmüller space

Keywords
